Switching between Guidance Modes
There may be situations where it is necessary to switch between guidance modes. Typically an
operator makes one or more passes around the field‘s headland area in the Headland guidance
mode. While driving the headlands, the operator may mark the A and B guideline points to be used
when switching modes. When the headlands are completed, the operator switches to the Straight-
line mode, and completes the field in a back and forth fashion.
To switch between guidance modes, scroll the real-time menu (See Figure 30 on page 29) until <HEAD-
LAND?> or <STRAIGHT?> appears in the text window. When the desired mode is displayed, press Enter to
make it active.
Area Determination
The area of the current job or field is important information. CenterLine allows the determination of
the area of a field by driving the perimeter of the field. This can be conveniently done while driving
the first headland circuit in Headland mode.
To determine the area of a field, scroll the real-time menu until <AREA> is displayed (See
Figure 32 on page 32) and Press Enter. The lightbar displays <LEFT> or <RIGHT>. Using Up or
Down, select the side of the swath or implement that is closest to the field boundary. Press Enter
to start area calculation. The lightbar displays <! Map BND> or <Map BND #
>
. When ready to
close the boundary, scroll the real-time menu Figure 30 until <CLOSE> is displayed. Press Enter
to close the boundary and determine the area. Pressing <CLOSE> inserts a line between the start-
ing location and the current location and uses that shape to determine area.
The area is automatically determined when the vehicle drives within 4.5 meters (15 feet) of the
starting point.
The bounded area will be displayed on the lightbar as a part of the guidance message stream for
three minutes and when stopped in an —applied“ area.
If a bounded area has already been determined, the <VIEW> menu item is present. Pressing
Enter at the <VIEW> level displays the current bounded area value.
